| Abstract: |
London and Johannesburg-listed DiamondCorp on Tuesday reported that it had completed the first diamond drill hole on the J1 kimberlite target at the Jwaneng South project area, in Botswana.
The drill hole, completed to a vertical depth of 340,02 m, intersected kimberlite from 17 m vertically down hole, to the end of the borehole. Logging of the core reported Kalahari sand to 17 m, severely calcretised kimberlite from 17 m to 69 m, weathered massive volcaniclastic kimberlite (MVK) from 69 m to 74 m and relatively fresh MVK kimberlites from 74 m to the bottom of the bore hole, at 340 m. |
